Blue - Like Keb Mo

You have to try Burton Garr. Whenever we play his music for folks, they immediately ask who is playing and where can they find the disk. Mighty Long road is his newest and best, but One Hundred Pounds of Trouble is great also. Both are better than Keb Mo's most recent.

Sideways in Paridise, John Mooney and Jimmy Thackery doing an acoustic thing. Recorded live outdoors in Jamaca...tree frogs doing the background thing. way cool mix of delta blues with a new orleans groove. Rye Cooder (i think i killed the spelling of the first name) Killer slide player. John Hammond. Buddy guy is good but i wouldn't say he's anything like keb mo. KM has a lot more of the delta thing going while Buddy is all Chicago.

You must try Junior Wells, who was a strong influence on Kevin Moore's sound. Slightly less pop oriented but more real and accessible than the last couple of Mo CD's-- imo. Also, some Buddy Guy music has the same soul/blues feel

Thanks for all the suggestions and sorry for the mis-spelling of the header, obviously it should of read, "Blues...". My wife and I did play a few seconds of a Eric Bibb disc at Barnes & Noble, but when I switched to Keb Mo, Slow Down, it was a no contest, we purchased another KM disc. Maybe it was just the Eric Bibb CD we tried. I did notice we liked the Slow Down CD better than a couple other KM CD's.

I will jot down some of the others and look into them when I get a chance.

I second the Terry Evans.

Lou Rawls - At Last
BB King, any

Not all that similar, but I bet she'd like Terry Evans.
